Founder and Artistic Director of TALENT Drama Studio. Educator, workshop leader, author, and actress.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"zakladatelka,<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have been working in theatre and with people for many years. In my teaching practice, I draw on a psychosomatic approach, Ivan Vysko\u010dil\u2019s Dialogical Acting, and an emphasis on authorial creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I believe that play and creation are natural parts of being human and of our existence. I believe that every human being is inherently creative, and that the path to this creativity is a path towards greater freedom, dignity, self-knowledge, and meaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I guide children, young people, and adults in finding their own voice, the courage to be seen, and the ability to stand firmly in who they are. I believe in people as active creators, not merely passive recipients of ready-made things and answers. I am interested in searching, experimenting, discovering, and creating something new.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I lead group and individual programmes, workshops, and creative processes. I work with children, young people, and adults, as well as with professionals in psychology, education, and the arts. I also provide training for educators across Europe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alongside my teaching, I write, create, teach, and sometimes direct and perform. I am drawn to unexplored things, spaces, and possibilities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
